Tannywheeler--

Believe me, the FSGW folks know about every facility available within a couple of hours of DC. I've personally researched ALL of them. The Getaway actually began at Prince William Forest Park, a U.S. National Park Service facility some 25 miles south of DC in Virginia (near Triangle and Quantico). The last time we tried to hold the Getaway there (just before we moved to Ramblewood), we didn't fit. There were some state parks that looked like they had nice facilities, but Texas (or even the middle of West Virginia) are just too far to drive for the weekend.
